/usr is an invisible folder on your startup disk

local is inside usr, so it'll be listed as /usr/local

If you want to see the folders, try getting a copy of tinkertool at

http://www.bresink.de/osx/TinkerTool2.html

and set it to let you see the hidden folders

or open up Terminal (ugh) and type

cd /

(this takes you to the 'top' of the startup drive directory, like 
double-clicking on a disk icon used to)

and then type ls -la

you'll see all the gory unix folders which are kept hidden from view.
